We've Brewed Up a New Idea: the Adirondacks Only Hand-crafted Wine & Beer Cellar

Our Wine & Beer Cellar was made from pine trees on our property that were hit by lighting and then milled and hand-built by the family. It has the largest selection of craft import styles in the Adirondacks!

5:30PM, Wednesday - Sunday: History of Beer Workshop & Tasting

The topic changes monthly, corresponding with seasonal beers and trends, but you can always count on interesting conversation and tasty beverages!

Tasting Charts and Descriptions

Overwhelmed?! We are too, so on each style card there are 2 simple charts for light to dark and for smooth to bitter. These are Ernest's tasting opinions so beware! Each style also has its own tent card with brief description.
